Could not ask for a better interaction with a professional, kind and understanding but also knowledgeable and helpful
I have seen Mr Durnea twice and both times I have felt listened to & appropriate next steps put in place.
I was prepared for a vaginal inspection but had expected it to be carried out by a woman. Mr Durnea was very professional but I found it psychologically challenging.
What a lovely man. Explained everything so well and happy to answer questions without rushing. Very professional
Great consultant, very professional and approachable throughout my entire treatment journey. Surgery went ahead without any issue, great outcome without any complications or concerns.
He was very polite and asked how my recovery had been - then checked my scar and I told him how I had recovered well
Konstantin has been my doctor for over a year. I'm amazed by his calm, professionalism, and responsiveness. I'm a very restless patient, but he was always able to calm me down and find the right treatment for me.
I have worked with Mr Durnea for years and he’s an expert in urogynaecology and prolapse surgery

Mr Firas Younis
General SurgeonI have worked with Mr. Durnea for some years now (both at Spire and OSD / One). He has a rare skill set that crosses over urology, gynaecology and lower GI surgery because of his specialist knowledge and experience of dealing with pelvic floor issues. I have referred him many patients with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and have only heard good reviews.
